water industry cannot afford half-measures when it comes to smart metering. With growing regulatory pressures, rising costs, and the urgent need for sustainability, water companies must take a strategic, long-term approach—one that ensures efficiency, resilience, and cost-effectiveness from the outset. Doing it once and doing it right is no longer just a best practice; it is a necessity. \u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>At Horizon Water Infrastructure, we do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We take a bespoke, end-to-end approach, designing tailored smart metering programmes that work for you and your customers. Through Metering-as-a-Service (MaaS), we lead, design, deliver, and fund best-in-class smart meter programmes—ensuring that water companies get smart metering right the first time, and for the long term. \u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Ch2 aria-level=\"3\">\u003Cb>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"none\">Why water companies cannot afford to get it wrong\u003C/span>\u003C/b>\u003Cspan data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:false,&quot;134245529&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:280,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"auto\">Learnings from the energy sector and early adopters in the water show that smart metering programmes can deliver significant operational, financial, and customer benefits—but only when implemented correctly.

style=\"font-weight: 200;\">At this year’s Smart Water Systems Conference, one message came through clearly: smart metering is no longer just about installing devices. Across both days, Horizon Water Infrastructure contributed both strategic thinking and live delivery insight, showing that smart metering creates most value when data, operations, governance and delivery are designed to work together from day one, and that the sector is now moving from ambition to practical, outcome-focused delivery at scale.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>Understanding the state of smart metering\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Over two days in London, the Smart Water Systems Conference 2026 brought together leaders from across the sector to discuss how smart technologies, data and collaboration are reshaping the future of water infrastructure.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">With AMP8 now in its second year and Ofwat placing greater emphasis on outcomes, water companies are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable improvements across leakage, demand management and network performance.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Horizon Water Infrastructure (HWI) was proud to contribute to that conversation through two sessions that reflected both sides of the challenge: how smart metering should be designed, and how it can be delivered at scale in practice.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">The sessions also showed that smart metering is no longer a future ambition. It is an active transformation already underway across the sector. The question is no longer whether smart metering matters. It is how to structure programmes so they deliver real operational outcomes over time.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/contact/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Get in touch with Horizon Water Infrastructure to discuss how an integrated smart metering programme could support you.\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>Day one: smart metering only works when the whole system works together\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">On day one, HWI’s Smart Solutions Design Partner \u003Ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-dady-041786238/\">Tanya Dady\u003C/a> spoke as Chair of the Future Water Association Metering Group in a session titled “Smart metering: greater than the sum of its parts.”\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Her message challenged one of the most persistent misconceptions in the sector: that smart metering is primarily a device installation programme. Instead, she set out that the real value of smart metering is only unlocked when \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/solution/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">technology, data, workflow integration, customer engagement and operational processes are connected.\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That distinction matters. Water companies are under pressure to reduce leakage, manage demand, improve network visibility, respond to water scarcity and deliver regulatory outcomes. Smart metering only supports those goals when the data is usable, trusted and embedded into day-to-day operations.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">In other words, utilities do not simply need meters. They need measurable outcomes enabled by reliable data.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Tanya captured that challenge clearly:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>“My challenge to all of us in this room is not just to implement smart metering well, but to think bigger, act more connected, and hold ourselves to a higher standard.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Because if we do that, we won’t just improve performance – we’ll leave things better than we found them: a legacy for future generations.”\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">It was a strong way to open the conference because it moved the conversation beyond rollout. The point was not that smart metering needs more complexity. It was that it needs more connection between the parts that already exist.

Smart metering creates most value when it is treated not as a standalone asset rollout for AMP8 alone, but as a connected, data-led programme designed to improve performance across the whole system. That is where models such as Funded Data-as-a-Service can play an important role – helping water companies bring funding, delivery, technology and usable data together around measurable outcomes.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/contact/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Get in touch with Horizon Water Infrastructure to

The issue isn’t just access to capital. It’s how that capital is structured, deployed and connected to delivery.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Under a traditional approach, water companies procure smart infrastructure as a series of separate components.
